I like other things they do at the Stadium like "guess the baby bomber" and I'm sure others don't like that..I hope there's something there for everyone and the things you don't like, don't get in the way of you having a good time...it certaintly doesn't for me especially since I've usually spent a lot of money to be there.

See this is a growing problem in society. Apathy towards important things that need a harsh stance. First the right way to eat pizza and then this wishy-washy feeling about the wave. Quit being so damn PC. Take a stand, do the right thing. Things need to change around here.

I swear to you.... sometimes I feel as if I were born in the wrong time period...., We need to start an Anti-Wave Campaign..., TV commercials, YouTube commercials, PSAs, Full Page Newspaper ads, etc. ..., WHO'S WITH ME !!!! In other ideas... one thing I am all for is: Yankee Cheer/Squad/Dance Girls ... take some of NYC's hottest, most talented young ladies & put together a 1st rate Dance/Cheer Squad...

I also saw that on Friday night and this thread was the first thought that I had.

Not that many of us dont know this already

ESPN critiques of new Yankee Stadium keeps building on broadcasts

Denizens of high-priced ballpark has changed the complexion of facing the Bronx Bombers.

“As a visiting team, especially for the Red Sox, by the time the (national) anthem was over, you couldn’t wait to get back in the dugout,” Francona said. “Now (there is) a little different (kind) of fan sitting around down there by the dugout.”

Part of the difference has to do with the fans sitting around the dugouts. Another difference they don't mention, though, is that in the old Stadium the upper deck hung right over the field. There were many, many more fans sitting in close than there are now.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.

Yep and with the upper deck having that open concourse the voices get carried off with the wind.

That was me.....upper deck right hanging over home. Now......way, way up.

Re: The Wave ?? At Yankee Stadium ??

This is what the Yankees want, fans walking the concourse, spending money on $15 steak sandwiches (if you luckyyou may get a fresh roll), merchandise available at a 200% markup , and dinner at the Hard Rock!
